Solensia is a prescription medication used to manage osteoarthritis pain in cats. It contains frunevetmab, a monoclonal antibody designed to target and block nerve growth factor (NGF), a key driver of osteoarthritic pain. Solensia is administered as a monthly injection by a veterinarian to provide long-term relief from joint pain and discomfort.
Solensia is a refrigerated medication - We will send it via Royal Mail Special Delivery using insulated packaging and ice packs. A signature is required on delivery and it must be put straight into a fridge. We cannot guarantee same day dispatch for orders placed after 12pm. VETERINARY PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED.
Osteoarthritis is a common but often undiagnosed condition in older cats. Solensia helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance a cat’s overall quality of life. Unlike traditional pain medications, Solensia is specifically designed for long-term use with minimal side effects.
How Solensia Works
Solensia contains frunevetmab, a monoclonal antibody that targets NGF, a protein involved in pain signalling. In cats with osteoarthritis, NGF levels are elevated, leading to increased pain sensitivity and joint discomfort.
By binding to NGF, Solensia prevents it from interacting with pain receptors in the nervous system. This reduces pain transmission and helps control the chronic discomfort associated with osteoarthritis. Since monoclonal antibodies function like natural proteins, they are gradually broken down by the body without placing strain on the liver or kidneys.
Solensia provides continuous pain relief for up to one month, making it a convenient option for cats who struggle with daily oral medications.
